How To Properly Operate, Use, and Store CASTrGARD:
CASTrGARD Operation (Closed)
The
closed and locked position is the proper operating position.
Place CASTrGARD on all four wheels. To transport clinical
machines across uneven surfaces (such as carpet) or gaps in
the floor (e.g. elevators or expansion plates), all devices
must be removed to avoid tipping over machines while moving.
CASTrGARD Removal (Opening)
To
open and remove the device, find and turn the locking latch
toward the body. Place the right thumb on locking tab and
push in. With the left hand, hold the left half of device
and pull out and away from the right half. The device may
now be removed from around the wheel. Repeat for each wheel.
CASTrGARD Application (Closing)
To
apply the device, place CASTrGARD in open position around
the wheel. Bring both halves of the device together until
locking tab locks into the opposite side. Locking tab must
be fully seated in locking tab opening with edges of device
flush together. Verify the device is placed on the floor with
the UP arrow pointing upward and the correct label orientation.
CASTrGARD Storage (Closed)
The
closed & locked position is the correct way to operate
devices, as well as to store devices not in use or upon removing
the devices from machines prior to transport.
